Panels

Discretion and Restraint: Striking the Right Balance in Arbitral Decision-MakingArbitrators often have discretion to determine key issues such as what law governs the dispute, whether damages have been proven with reasonable certainty, and how costs of the arbitration should be allocated. What influences whether an arbitrator will exercise his or her discretion expansively or with restraint, and what steps can counsel and arbitrators take to avoid “unreasoned” decisions and the arbitrary exercise of discretion?

Yukos and More: Recent Developments in the Enforcement of AwardsThis panel will consider recent developments in the recognition and enforcement of arbitration awards around the globe, including the status of the Yukos awards.

Is the Arbitration World Cyber Secure? Arbitration is often prized for the relative privacy of proceedings. But as our practice becomes increasingly digitized and cyber criminals see law firms as ripe targets, does the arbitration world have a handle on the major threats to data security in arbitration and what can be done to safeguard sensitive information?

Arbitrator Independence, Impartiality, and Disclosure Re-VisitedThis panel will explore the intersection of national laws, institutional rules and soft law governing the disclosure of (potential) conflicts of interest with reference to recent judicial decisions from around the world and user expectations.
